Testimonials
I’ve been going to Pinnacle for around six weeks now and can honestly say it is the best self investment I have ever made. Hugh and Lexi have been incredible and highly supportive. Even on the days you don’t want to show up or lack motivation, Hugh ensures you work to the best of your ability and leave feeling x10 better than when you went in. I am now feeling stronger and better in myself than I did six weeks ago and cannot wait to see where the next six take me!

I’ve been at pinnacle for 12 weeks now, and it’s been the best self investment. Hugh and Lexi have both been amazing and supportive, they are experts in their fields and will both get the results you need. Initially I was joining to just do a 12 week programme but now I’ll be staying on. Really enjoying the 2 classes a week. Great facility and a great community to be part of.

I would recommend Pinnacle Performance to anyone that is looking to better their health. Not only physically but mentally as Hugh is there to help you every step of the way. Hugh is very supportive and works hard to cater for all fitness levels to help achieve whatever goal you have set yourself.

The team at Pinnacle Performance helped me understand that my body was capable of more than what I thought possible. They encouraged me to challenge and push myself and supported me when the hardest part was showing up. I am stronger than what I was 8 weeks ago and somewhere along the line my brain caught up with how to do some of the movements better. The focus is on every individual journey, and they helped me understand my why.

When I first turned up at Pinnacle Performance 7 weeks ago the only habit I had was eat what I want when I want with no exercise. Hugh has done an awesome job designing a workout program as well as a diet that works for my lifestyle, helping me have a more active lifestyle and reach my weight loss goal. I would highly recommend Hugh at Pinnacle Performance to anyone who is willing to change their fitness lifestyle and better their health.

I have been a reluctant exerciser for, well my entire life of 51 yrs, but since started with Hugh at Pinnacle Performance a little over 2 months ago I now look forward to going every morning. Being able to choose my own sessions to attend, with a variety of times available is awesome but the best thing is not an abundance of mirrors to watch yourself exercise like you get in commercial gyms. I have no hesitation to let everyone know how much Hugh has helped me to get fitter, stronger, more flexible, and happier in my life in general.

★★★★★
Going to a Gym is for me intimidating then I saw some friends were going to Pinnacle Performance so I went to meet Hugh and Lexi. Straight away I was put at ease. The classes are small and everyone is so encouraging. Going to a class is not a chore I’m seeing results with not only my body but my mind. I encourage anyone on the fence to just come and see give it a go. You won’t regret it
– Rachael O’Reilly

Hugh cares. Right from when he showed me around the gym, to now that we are working together, he has had great attention to detail. His experience shows through and it is clear he has a wide range of experience. Shame about the singing, but hey, at least he is fine with putting on the music I choose!
– Christine F. Abela
★★★★★
I hadn’t done any sort of semi private classes when it came to the gym before I had started at Pinnacle Performance with Hugh and Lexi and I was quite anxious about the whole situation but when I got in there and done a few of them I really started to enjoy it. The way Hugh pushes and motivates you to complete the workouts is great! I feel better in myself, I have more energy and I won’t be stopping anytime soon.
